  • Patent number: 9320605
    Abstract: Knee prostheses featuring components that more faithfully replicate the structure and function of the human knee joint in order to provide, among other benefits: greater flexion of the knee in a more natural way by promoting or at least accommodating internal tibial rotation in a controlled way, replication of the natural screw home mechanism, and controlled articulation of the tibia and femur respective to each other in a more natural way. In a preferred embodiment, such prostheses include an insert component disposed between a femoral component and a tibial component, the insert component preferably featuring among other things a reversely contoured posterolateral bearing surface that helps impart internal rotation to the tibia as the knee flexes.

  • Patent number: 9207615
    Abstract: Digital printing method for printing an image, using a printing system capable of printing a plurality of density levels, including: printing at least one left control strip in a left zone of a print medium and at least one right control strip in a right zone of said print medium, said left control strip including at least one left patch and said right control strip including at least one right patch, wherein settings are used which are intended for printing the same color and/or density level for a left patch of said at least one left patch and for a corresponding right patch of said at least one right patch; measuring a density level and/or color of at least said printed left patch and right patch; adjusting said printing system based on a difference between the measured density levels and/or colors of said left patch and said right patch in order to perform a left-right correction in said image to be printed; and printing the image using said adjusted printing system.

  • Patent number: 9128406
    Abstract: Disclosed is an array of light emitting semiconductor components for use in a digital printer. Each component includes a driver and at least one light emitting device. The array includes data buses connecting to first subsets of components, forming a first partition of said component. The array further includes auxiliary buses connecting to second subsets of components, forming a second partition of the components. The first partition and the second partition are chosen such that each component can be uniquely identified by the subset of the first and second partition to which it belongs. The data buses are configured to supply instructions to the first subsets of components. Each component is configured to extract instructions on the basis of its membership of a particular subset according to the second partition.
